Molykote Applications in the Sponge Iron Industry

Slip Seal Mechanisms

Slip Seal Mechanisms in Sponge Iron Plants are
lubricated with high performance Molykote Greases
designed to withstand high temperatures, good
pumpability and provide desired sealing effect.

Molykote G-0103 designed for slip seal application

has a high drop point, with high base oil viscosity to
provide lubricity and sealing effect, and is easily
pumped through centralized systems.

Low grease consumption, better wear protection of

slip seal segments, and environmental friendly
thickeners are some of the key benefits.

Pre-treatment is recommended on slip seal

segments with Molykote P-74 Paste prior to
installation.

Motor Bearings
Motor Bearings are lubricated with high
temperature and shear resistant polyurea greases
from Molykote.

Molykote G-0100 is a mineral grease with high

temperature resistance designed for motors
operating in continuous high temperatures. The
grease provides long-term lubrication and avoids
costly downtime due to bearing failures.

Support Roller Bearings

Support Roller Bearings are best lubricated with
very high viscosity greases designed to provide a
separating film. A viscosity of 1000 cst is
recommended for this application.

Molykote Heavy Duty Grease with a viscosity of

1110cst is designed for a high load carrying
capacity and has excellent impact resistance and
oxidation stability. The product contains solid
lubricants and extreme pressure additives.

Girth Gears
From the priming, running-in and service lubricants, to
provide complete technical services during installation
and commissioning, Molykote Lubrication Program fro
girth gears are designed to extend your equipment life.

Molykote Girth Gear Lubricants are designed with

premium additives to provide high performance, better
load handling characteristics and a separating film under
some extremely difficult conditions.

MolykoteQ3-4613 Priming Paste is a paste with highly

refined mineral oils with a high concentration of solid
lubricants. Thanks to its special formulation, it creates
on the metallic surfaces a solid lubricant film, avoiding
seizing and enabling easy settlement during running-in.

Molykote KGP-2P/E Running-in grease is specially

developed for the running-in of new gears or for repair of
their damaged surfaces (severe wear and/or other
problems like pitting, scoring and spalling). Unlike many
other running-in products, Molykote KGP-2P/E does not
contain abrasive particles but contain solid lubricants
and chemical action additives which provide excellent
lubricating characteristics for running-in or repair of
gears. The grease is sprayable and can be pumped in
centralized lubrication systems.

Molykote KGP-2/P is the sprayable service grease with

a base oil viscosity of 1000 cst containing an optimum
blend of solid lubricants with a purity of 99.5 to 99.9
percentage. Formulated with highly refined mineral oils
and complex aluminium thickeners, the product contains
solid lubricants and chemical reaction additives that
provide a separating film under the highest stresses.
The product is free of lead, heavy metals, asphalt
(bitumen) and other products detrimental to the
environment.

For dip lubrication of smaller capacity kilns found in the

sponge iron industry, Molykote Longterm 00 is
recommended. Molykote Longterm 00 is a NLGI 00
consistency grease with an optimum blend of solid
lubricants and high base oil viscosity designed to form a
continuous separating film and high adherence on gear
surfaces.

Impactors, Crushers and Screens
Molykote has some of the industry’s best known greases for
bearings subjected to heavy impact and shock loads, and that
must work in dusty environments under some extremely
challenging conditions.

Coal Impactors, Iron Jaw Crushers, Vibratory Screens and

Conveyor End Rollers are some of the other applications areas for
Molykote in a sponge-iron industry.

Molykote Longterm 2+ Grease with its unusual adhesive and

sealing properties, together with its outstanding ability to prevent
corrosion and fretting, allows reliable operation of equipments in
such conditions as high impact loads, dust, humidity and flowing
water.

Molykote Long-term 2+ is an extreme pressure grease designed

for the highest bearing loads and long-term lubrication, with a
unique blend of high viscosity base oils, extreme pressure
additives, Mos2 and other solid lubricants. The product helps
extend relubrication intervals, increase reliability of operations,
prevents costly bearing failures and minimize downtime.

Assembly and Disassembly

Applications
Molykote GN+ Paste prevents fretting and allows easy assembly
without scuffing and scoring, and enables easy disassembly of
press-fitted parts in the sponge iron industry.

Molykote 1000 Paste allows non-destructive dismantling of

threaded connections, nuts and bolts used in high temperature
zones.

Moly Penelube and Penelube penetrating oils containing an

optimum blend of solid lubricants allow easy disassembly of
rusted and seized components during repairs and overhauls.
